How prophetic is this?

"Q: What type of books do you read and who is your favourite author?

A: Well, I'm just starting to get into science fiction. I like adventure and I like mysteries. My favourite book is probably The Hobbit and my favourite author is the author that wrote The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien."

From an interview in 'Elijah's World' when he was about twelve. I just find that so amazing - to think at that time he had no idea ...

Oh, and it looks like there will be a petition on TORN about The Chocolate Fish!!

And because I can't really post on Froday without a Fropic, I have chosen this one as my next chapter of 'Journey' will start on filming TTT. There is something so sensual about this pic:

THAT was the reason he was so passionate about getting the part.. he wouldn't have been happy playing anyone else..so it wouldn't have happened if he didn't get the part of Frodo..It was meant to be...

That picture is so lovely.. and new to me( which is always a bonus..thanks)

I have a sneaking suspicion our dear one didn't really need any 'pointers' for that scene. I think he was 18, going on 30. Someone who looks like that and is as enchanting and intelligent as that must have had some er, experience. (Unless Debbie kept him locked up all through puberty...I probably would have!)

I probably would have too!! But I expect you're right, even though compared to his peers he was a bit of a late starter, I'm sure by then he was able to draw on his own experience for help with that scene:D

We have heard from his own (perfect) lips, by way of a magazine article, that he lost his virginity at 17. So that's just a year before LOTR. But can you imagine the milegae he would have racked up being chased around casting offices if his mom (God bless her) hadn't kept such an eagle eye on her boy?? :)

I got mine on eBay too - quite a few years ago now. I loved the list of daily chores he compiled in one of them - I wonder if he actually did them!! I can remember my own daughter doing exactly the same thing, spent ages on this really long and detailed list - but that was a far as it went - she never actually got round to doing any of the jobs:)
